Hi all,

Surely this can't be too much to ask for. I'm trying to find a decently-priced 4G/LTE router that has:

The 4G/LTE modem built in (so you just slot in your SIM card)
At least 2 x Ethernet (RJ45) LAN ports
DHCP server (probably goes without saying)
Everything else optional. Doesn't even need WiFi capability

I'm struggling to find any product that meets the need (which is surprising, surely I'm not the only one). If I have overlooked something, please let me know. Obviously needs to be compatible with NZ's networks :-)

What do you consider "decently priced"?

Good point. Subjective huh. Decently priced for me would be around $200-$300.

I may have found something too:

D-Link DWR-922

Sorry I can't post links. Not sure about compatibility with NZ's network. 4G/LTE is not something I know much about. The above router is being sold in Australia. Can I assume it will work in NZ as well?

This list looks pretty up to date with the frequencies being used in NZ:

Check these against the router specs.

$399 is do-able. Do you have make/model info?

Oh right. Spark NZ, Wellington, so that's the LTE 1800MHz band, which the router supports. But then I've heard there's more to LTE compatibility than the MHz.

Will a cheap Mikrotik with a 3G modem attached be a solution here?

OK, impulse purchase, I just ordered the D-Link DWR-922 from Australia. I have no idea if it will work here. Technically, seems to support Spark's LTE network so fingers crossed it'll be OK.

Cost was $229 (Aussie $).

Thanks for your thoughts and recommendations, appreciate it :-)

I see you're sorted though :)

Edit: I think it only does 900/2100 on 3G, so no good for 3G fall back on Spark. All good for Vodafone & 2Degrees
